It was good news for Income Tax payers who have a car and like alcohol. There was some relief for benefit claimants too along with a surprise inflation-busting rise for minimum wage workers. Otherwise it was largely forgettable.

Not much to discuss really but is this the final nail in the coffin for the preposition that the Tories are the steady hand that the economy needs? They were supposed to balance the books by 2015, now it won't even happen by 2024 and we see this desperate tagline of austerity being over, those who want to believe it will and those that wish not to really don't have to dig very deep to find glaring evidence that it isn't. Liz Truss was on politics live earlier, I caught a bit as I came in from work and she said 'we have made work pay', I honestly can't remember a government who less fits that claim.

If they had given everyone a thousand pound bonus , it wouldn't have been enough ,as the party is so disliked in many parts of society ,although I am lead to believe they are considered as the most successful political party in the world ,which only faltered in popularity when it was done over by 3 consecutive defeats by Labour under Tony Blair ( which I'm guessing some see as a soft Tory ).
I've never voted for them or will do , however I think some Labour folk have a sense of Conservatism about them , and perhaps ,they like these budget decisions,if they didn't the Tories would never be in power ??
Think the article I read related to not just the longest undefeated period but the overall history / tenure of the party over a very long time both in and out of power, it was seen by academics/historians ,as a successful longer term political movement, not my political bag ,just found it an interesting read
